Chen Zao

Chen Zao (?-228) was an officer of Wei. At the battle of Jieting, the losing Shu army began to pull back. Cao Zhen was ordered to lead the vanguard of the pursuing force. Zhuge Liang anticipated the pursuit and set Jiang Wei and Ma Dai in ambush. Chen Zao ran into them and was instantly surrounded. Cao Zhen hurriedly called for a retreat, but was too late and Chen Zao was killed by Ma Dai.
